Cisco NAC Appliance Log Files
Table 13-5 lists common Clean Access Manager and Clean Access Server logs in Cisco NAC Appliance.
Log File Sizes
• There are 10 logs with a maximum size of 20 MB for the
/perfigo/control/tomcat/logs/nac_manager.log log file.
• There are 20 logs with maximum size of 20 MB for each log file under
/perfigo/(control | access)/apache/logs.
The log file sizes can be controlled by using the following files:
• On Clean Access Manager, logging is controlled by the file:
/perfigo/control/tomcat/conf/logback.xml
• On Clean Access Server, logging is controlled by the file:
/perfigo/access/tomcat/conf/logback.xml
In the above xml files, the following parameters can be changed to control the log file size:
• <MinIndex> — Determines the minimum index of the log file name extension.
• <MaxIndex> —Determines the maximum index of the extension.
The difference between the above two parameters determines the count of files.
• <MaxFileSize> — Determines the file size limit of each log file.
The command ls -clt lists the log files available.

1. Device Management events for notifications received by the CAM from switches are written only to the logs on the file
system (/perfigo/control/tomcat/logs/nac_manager.log). These events are written to disk only when the log level is set to
INFO or finer.
2. Perfigo service log files in previous releases of Cisco NAC Appliance reside in the /perfigo/logs/perfigo-log0.log.* or
/tmp/perfigo-log0.log.* (pre-release 3.5(5)) directory. For these older logs, 0 instead of * shows the most recent log.
